Package: fam Version: 2.7.0-6 Followup-For: Bug #296609
I must confirm this issue. Robinud stressed something really nasty. One can not use graphical frontends for umounting floppies and USB sticks in sarge for months. In fact, maybe all writeable and "rw" mounted devices could be affected. The trick is to use "umount -l /dev/*" , the "-l" (lasy) option make umount wait for a pause in fam(d) activty to fullfill his task. So, Sarge is not really user-friendly here ! To clear it up before releasing seems something important, AFAIAC. Fam (or famd) responsability is widely admitted (eg. on linux.debian.french.user and on many other french-speaking support ressources). Too bad that the package is actually orphaned : the bug list is long and most of them are really annoying.
